Liam Reinhardt
 |
Liam Reinhardt is a visiting Post-Doc at St. Anthony Falls (SAFL): His home institution is the University of Memphis. Liam is interested in transient landscape responses to perturbations such as base-level fall (e.g. vertical fault movement) and climate change. He is presently 'growing' model mountains at SAFL and relating sediment flux to the evolution of model topography.

Matthew Wolinsky
 |
Matthew Wolinsky is post-doc at the U.S. National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (NCED). He studies how climatic, tectonic, and anthropogenic forcing of nonlinear sediment transport systems gives rise to large scale patterns in surface morphology and subsurface stratigraphy. Recent projects include computational modeling of coastal deltas and signal propagation in source to sink systems. |
Cailin Huyck Orr
 |
Cailin Huyck Orr is a stream ecologist and postdoctoral associate with NCED at the University of Minnesota. Her current research links geomorphology and nutrient cycling in river-floodplain systems with a particular focus on stream restoration.

Michal Tal
 |
Michal Tal will complete her PhD at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory this year. The focus of her research is the dynamic interactions between riparian vegetation and braiding, investigated through a series of large scale flume experiments. Michal has spent time working in New Zealand studying the causes and mechanisms for vegetation encroachment in natural braided rivers: her aim here is to inform river management on this topic. |
Nikki Strong
 |
Nikki Strong graduated from the University of Minnesota with a PhD in 2006. She is interested in cross-disciplinary research that applies the discipline of landscape dynamics to environmental, paleo-climatic, and societal issues. Nikki is currently working as an NCED Post-doc, investigating the history of paleoclimate and landuse in the Northern Highlands of Ethiopia. |
Jane Staiger
 |
Jane Staiger is a geomorphologist interested in solving problems that bear on long-term landscape change and is particularly interested in applying cosmogenic isotope techniques in new ways to determine long-term rates of erosion. Her work thus far has focused on glacial-interglacial cycle glacial erosion and chronology, the fluvial response to tectonic forcing, and erosional perturbations that arise from changes in land use. |
Douglas Jerolmack
 |
Douglas Jerolmack is an assistant professor at the Department of Earth and Environmental Science, University of Pennsylvania, and a research associate of the National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics. His research focuses on the spatial and temporal evolution of patterns that emerge at the interface of fluid and sediment on Earth and planetary surfaces. Currently he is working on river delta evolution, and the nature of transport fluctuations in sedimentary systems. |
